Longer

Longer than there’ve been fishes
in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars
up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
I’ll bring fires in the winters
You’ll send showers in the springs
We’ll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.
Through the years as the fire
starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the
pages start to yellow
I’ll be in love with you.
Longer than there’ve been fishes
in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there’ve been stars
up in the heavens
I’ve been in love with you
I am in love with you.
